STAKEHOLDER THEMES<br />
• The potential influx into the labor force from this segment remains strong with 400 exits per<br />
month. Currently, <strong>Clarksville</strong>-Montgomery County captures 20-30% of those exits, although<br />
about half of exiting military say they would stay in the area if they could find suitable employment.<br />
• Data show a skills mismatch that could be overcome through programmed training. Most<br />
employers within the focus groups mentioned how much they desire to hire those with military<br />
backgrounds due to their discipline and work ethic. However, a wage mismatch exists between<br />
what these employers tend to offer ($11-12/hour) for separated military personnel who do not<br />
have a bachelor’s degree versus desired rates of those exiting the military ($15-$17/hour). At<br />
$12 per hour, the available workforce for the top 10 occupations employed by manufacturing<br />
industries is 457 people. If more military could receive bachelor degree equivalents while<br />
transitioning, their options would increase. The jobs that are available for $17/hour with<br />
experience include the following:<br />
